I just bought a 99 Aquasport 175 Osprey with a 90hp johnson ob. The prop thats on it looks factory and has a few good nics in it and one blade had a good bend to it. I'm gettin 4800-4900 WOT at 36-37 mph by gps. I wish i could tell yall what the prop is on it now but there are no numbers on it at all. My hole shot is somewhat slugish and it digs in alot deeper then i would like also control in reverse is poor at best. I don't mind losing 1 or 2 mph off my topend if i can improve on the other 2 issues. Anybody out there have any sigjestions?

Re: prop selection help

Not unless you tell us what prop you have now. Remove the nut and washer and check the hub for numbers.

After removing the prop nut, remove the prop and take it to your local prop shop and have it fixed.
